Interesting to see how Prosvetov does. He's the wildcard.
He may start out Shakey but I feel he and LaBarbera are very comparable and LaBarbera will get Prosvetov dialed in.
To me he is the clear cut #2 but this is training camp where jobs are lost and won. I'd have believed differently if Cooley managed to keep his stellar training camp effort all year long last year but IIRC he fell off a cliff performance wise.
If I recall, Prosvetovs issues was positioning, he went swimming out of his crease a lot. If he has eliminated that from his game he can definitely turn out to be a rock solid 1b.
Perhaps early Markstrom (Panthers) is an apt descriptor.

Sounds like Cooley had quite the concussion which really impacted him for remainder of season. Bounce back from Cooley likely.
SN only ever does a few preseason games. Tor-Ott, Van-Edm and then maybe a Tor-Mtl game and they air a few US ones.
Edit: Checked my guide for the next couple weeks up to the 2nd. Ottawa Toronto yesterday and today. Kraken at Canucks on Friday. Montreal at Toronto Saturday. Vancouver at Edmonton Sunday. Detroit at Toronto Thursday. Six US games.
Canucks at Flames Wed Oct 1st on SN360.

Ok so like I said, the league never stops giving a big F you to its out of market fans. They also keep chopping their profits away by driving us OOM to illegal streams.

They usually do every Canuck game unless they're playing in a non-NHL arena that doesn't have a proper setup or playing simultaneous split-squad games, in which case, they'll just do the game in Vancouver.
Wednesday's game is in Abbotsford, so that's why it's not being televised.
